House District 53 candidate to host meeting

LAS CRUCES - Willie Madrid, Democratic candidate for New Mexico State Representative District 53, will be hold a constituent meeting at Los Compas Restaurant, 6335 W. Bataan Memorial Highway, at 5 p.m. Saturday, May 19. Complementary food and beverages will be served.

Madrid said he plans to outline his education, economic and infrastructure plans.

“For too long our communities have been divided and ignored. We can bring the kind of civic engagement and responsiveness needed to address our many needs” Madrid said. “We must have the educational opportunities and infrastructure to bring jobs and a quality of life to our district. Working together we can build a stronger community."

Madrid, 54, is a father of four, and works as an instructor and support staff in public schools. He is a lifelong resident of Chaparral.

District 53 includes Chaparral, parts of Las Cruces’ East Mesa — including Moongate, Butterfield Park and Organ — and parts of Otero County.
